トヨタ大原常務、レクサス51万台目標は現状の為替水準なら達成可能

トヨタ自動車のレクサス本部副本部長を務める大原一夫常務役員は12日、今年グローバルでレクサスを51万台販売する目標について、現状の為替水準であれば達成可能との考えを明らかにした。

大原常務は同日都内で開いた新型レクサス『RX』の発表会後、一部報道陣に対し足元の為替水準について「もちろん脅威じゃないということではない。為替は輸出のビジネスをやっている限りにおいては、やっぱりリスクファクターであるのは事実」と指摘。
しかし大原常務は「(1ドル=)81〜82円近辺を想定した上で台数計画は立てている。

これがまた70円とか60円といわれたら全然話が変わるが、 (足元の水準である)80円近辺でいっている限りにおいては(目標の)51万台という台数レベルを今のところ下げるつもりはない」と強調した。さらに「RXはカナダでも造っているので、ある程度のヘッジはできている」とも語った。

今年のレクサスの販売目標51万台は前年実績に対し26%の伸びとなる。一方、日本国内でのレクサスの販売について大原常務は「昨年が約4万3000台だったので、それよりも少しでも上に行けたらという目標目線で考えている」と述べた。

Mr. Ohara, Executive of Toyota, Target of 510,000 unite Sales is Achievable if Current Exchange Rate Stays

On April 12, Kazuo Ohara, Executive Director of Lexus Division Deputy General Manager at Toyota Motor, revealed his vision that the target of 510,000 global-wide sales is achievable if the current exchange rate stays.
After the announcement of New Lexus model “RX”’s in Tokyo, Ohara executive admitted, “The exchange rate still remains as threat. And it is true that exchange rate is a risk factor as long as we involve in export business.” to the reporters regarding the current exchange rate level.
However, Ohara Executive emphasized that “I have planned this plan also considering the time when exchange rate becomes $1.00 = JPY81 – 82 range. It will be a totally different story if the rate becomes JPY70 or JPY60.
However, as long as the rate stays around JPY80 range, we do not plan to decrease the sale unit level from 510,000.” Furthermore, he said “We have a certain degree of hedge since “RX” is also manufactured in Canada.”

2012’s target of 510,000 sales is an increase by 26% from last year result. On the other hand, Ohara shared his conservative goal for the Japanese sales target, stating “we are hoping to exceed last year sales of 43,000 units, even a little bit”
